  • Most foods have skyrocketed in price worldwide.
    Look at the graphs in this PDF, and read all about the food riots that are occurring TODAY -- not far off in the future.

    Read about what governments are doing today, etc.

    A MUST-READ!

  • Here's a sample from the PDF:

    It's grim news for everybody. [...] Wheat prices hit $24 a bushel this week in the futures markets, having been $3 a bushel four years
    go. That dwarfs the rise in oil prices.

    ******
    "In some of these developing countries, prices have gone up 80 percent for staple food. If food is twice as expensive, we can bring half
    as much in for the same price and the same contribution."
    - Josette Sheeran, executive director of the U.N. World Food Program

    American food aid is expected to drop from 2.6 million tons last year to about 2.2 million this year. Since America is
    still the largest single food donor in the world, that means that people are going to starve to death. It's really as simple as that.

    Already, 25 million people in India are believed to have cut their meals from two to one a day. The calorie intake from an average meal in El Salvador has fallen by half in less than two years. Riots have broken out from Mexico to Mauritania.
    President Musharraf's electoral defeat in Pakistan can be partly attributed to his reintroduction of food rationing cards.
    China and Russia are imposing price controls. Argentina and Vietnam are applying export taxes on food staples and
    limiting wheat exports. Kazakhstan has frozen grain exports and Russia is considering doing the same.

  • Here is why I'm against Ethanol (and American waste in general) -- Ethanol is not a good solution to our energy crisis, and just read this!

    Filling up one U.S. SUV fuel tank one time with ethanol uses enough corn to feed one person for a year.

    It really comes down to a case of morality. There are 800 million motorists in the world. There are 850 million
    undernourished poor. Right now, in a year of bumper crops for grains, we are making the decision that the poor should
    go hungry so that our gas tanks can be full.

  • They have to eliminate 2/3 to 3/4 of the people somehow, right?
